Exciting: What If You Could Be Mentored, For Free, By Your Idle?

You don’t realize it yet, but this is a post that can change your life forever.
I know it’s a bold statement, but in the next 3 minutes you’ll discover the key to your freedom.

If there’s one decisive factor in reaching success, it’s this: your mentor.

Imagine what it would be like if you could have your idle mentor you.
Forget about price for the moment. forget about their time schedule for a moment.

Just picture it. Your idle coming up to you and offering you the gift of their time and their experience. Wouldn’t that be amazing?
Having them sit down with you, share all of their experience with you and show you specifically how it’s done.

Of course you know that no one in sports would ever consider training without a trainer.
No one.
Even world champions that are the best in the world at what they do, still have someone teach them.

Same goes for business – all the wildly successful business owners have a mentor (or several mentors). While most of those struggling do not.

I’m currently mentored by Alex Jeffreys and let me tell you, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made.
He has made me focus on the things that I need to focus on. It starts with planning which is a pain in the $%#%$$#
for me, but I do it because it works. My 12 month plan is all laid out and my goal is to earn $100k in that time.

Last year I made a grand total of… just under $2000. Looking back I wasted most of my time being a busy fool as Alex calls it. Keeping busy but not really going forward.

This year I have already created a powerful new product that launches mid November and that alone will bring me close to my target.

But that’s not all. I have other plans that should start paying off by December.
I’ll tell you all about it in my next posts especially since I believe you can do the same and profit big time.

As you can see I’ve stopped being a busy fool.

Now the funny thing is that I put something in my plan even though it was more of a wish.
I had no idea how to make it happen but I put it in the plan anyway.
What I put in my plan for October 2009 was this: “find a way to work with Rich Schefren”.

I don’t know if you’ve heard of Rich Schefren or not, but he’s been an idle of mine these past 2 years.
See, Rich’s thing is teaching people correct business building principles.
It’s the most unsexy thing you could possibly imagine amidst all the shiny new techniques and bright new products that offer instant success and immediate profits.

Now, even though Rich has a way of sweetening the pill putting his information out in a way that looks really attractive, it’s still a bit dull at it’s core.
But these are the fundamentals you HAVE to use if you want the dream – more time freedom and the money to go along with it.

Rich is amongst a tight few that teach what needs to be taught regardless of the hype surrounding them.
What he teaches is gold plus he has a unique way of taking concepts that work in other fields and adopting them to business building.
And for that he’s been a hero of mine.

So I planned to find a way to work with him and I have no idea how this came to be, but I now have an opportunity to do so!
He hasn’t invited me over to his office (yet) but it’s a start. He is now offering to mentor me – for free!

He’s also lined up a ton of other remarkable people to do the exact same thing for you.

There has never been anything quite like it. It’s as though he wants to change the rules forever. The caliber of people he arranged in the group is mind boggling – Jay Abraham, Robert Cialdini…

There are 53 people in this group. 53 supermen that have been advising companies like Nike, Coca Cola, IBM, Disney, Starbucks… the list goes on and on.
They have been these company’s secret weapons for years and they have now come together to offer the little guy their mentorship – for free.

If you don’t go sign up right now, if you don’t grab this incredible offering right away…
then you’re like those struggling internet wannabees that think they can do it all by themselves – and fail.

Don’t be those guys.

Don’t walk, run(!) and grab a hold of this special gift that’s been given to you.

Just imagine, name your idle and have them mentor you…

Personal – Admitting my Addiction

Well, here goes. I hate to do this publicly but I feel I have to.
For the past month I’ve been battling my addiction of email. Gmail more specifically.

Don’t laugh.

It’s an addiction just like any other. I run to my computer several times a day to see the new mail that came in.
Even when I’m working online, I have gmail open and I installed one of their add-ons that lets you see how many new emails you have when you have it opened in tabs (because normally you can’t).

Just writing about the things I’ve done gives me shivers.

I’m not over my addiction and I don’t know if I’ll ever be because email will always be a part of working online. It’s the equivalent of giving a heroin addict just a little bit each day. How long will they last before succumbing to the addiction? How long will I last?

I don’t know. What I do now is that I’m at the first step which is realizing I have a problem.
I hated to admit it to myself but I now understand that I do have a problem. The next step was an even worse wake up call – I started a plan to drastically cut the number of emails I was getting.

I opted out of numerous lists I was on and for those that I really don’t want to leave, I had gmail automatically archive them for me so I don’t even know they came in. They’re there for me to find if I want to, but they don’t arrive in my inbox.

That was one hell of a wake up call. Turns out I was on more than a hundred lists! I used to get more than 50 emails a day and I have now cut that to a few. Less than 5 new email a day to be exact. Talk about email diet.

But the email diet has it’s side effect. Because now comes my detox stage. It’s nothing short of a physical sensation of discomfort. Especially the first few weeks.
I keep going back to my inbox. After the email diet it’s Now thankfully empty.
I know it’s empty but I still take a look.

I think it’s going to be a struggle to close my inbox but that’s where I’m headed. I have to.
I know what I need to do online. I don’t have to wait for assignments from the emails in my inbox.

I know all that but still I find myself staring at the blank inbox. I hope I overcome this.

Am I the only one with email addiction? Please comment. I’m looking for your thoughts, encouragement and advice on this
